I don't think you want to PAINT pressure-treated posts.

Never done it that way, and I already have a bunch of wood posts. Need to
research it, I don't think I've ever seen a wood panel fence with metal
posts.

I have, but those were there to support broken wooden posts. g

Black locust wood posts with charred ends seem to last forever.
The suggestions to plant the PT post in gravel, then add mounded
concrete on top is a good one.
